(presses the EZ button) take a page from the nascar fan. show them love, buy their merchandise, trade your bike for a new honda, yamaha or ducati, support their sponsors (where possible), buy tickets for a live race. drink, eat, be merry, and leave your money behind in those local economies. re: “Now if only there was some way to get our Guys fired up for their home rounds?”

I've been a huge fan of Ben for many years, always wishing he'd have a crack at a GP. Go Bens!! Holy cow that is nuts!

There just isn't a 'quick' route. Lots of stop lights, lots of traffic. Especially on a Friday afternoon... Yep, still a $6 toll. I'll put together a scenic and least-stressful-as-possible route for you on google maps. Email me at brinskee -at- gmail.com and I'll send it to you!

Tony Elias has got to be worried and will probably crash rather than get beat by a one time rider. Now we can root for two Bens. GO BENS!!!

I'm riding down the coast route for the Laguna Seca GP and I usually take 14th thru GoldenGate park onto 19th then back onto Hwy 1. This way has lots of traffic and stop lights. Would turning right onto Geary Blvd from 14th then it turns into Great Hwy. to Skyline to Hwy.1 be less traffic and quicker? I'm leaving Thursday from Oregon and plan going thru San Francisco area about 1-3 pm Friday (rush hour?). Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

CYA at its finest… I think it is funny that VIR files a lawsuit and then the next day claims that they haven’t served AMA Pro Racing and won’t pursue the lawsuit. <--You may want to look into that… Funny stuff by the heads at VIR… I’ve also read several (unfortunately) anonymous posts/blogs by VIR employees that largely confirm what was in the roadracingworld.com article that I linked.

I suggest you find and read that as well, rather than someones opinion as he states in that article. But yes, it is all on who you WANT to believe. VIR released a public statement about it.

It all depends on who you want to believe. You can believe an opinion of one writer who states multiple times in his article that it is 'In my opinion.' The article is even entitled 'First person/opinion.' Or you can look a little deeper and read an actual press/media release from VIR themselves that DMG still has not denied or responded to. You can read it here: http://m.sportrider.com/news/146_1107_vir_responds_to_ama_pro_racing_with_another_press_release_the_saga_continues/index.html or here: http://www.superbikeplanet.com/2011/Jul/110713vir.htm or here: http://nascar.speedtv.com/article/ama-sbk-vir-responds/ Whichever source you prefer...its all the same.
